Re: Shouldn't you get rid of F911? |
Besides it not just Michael Moore. He does not have complete rights to this film. The company setup by Miramax, the distributors, and the charities yet to be disignated by Disney all have commercial interests in this movie that Michael Moore cannot give away.

Re: Shouldn't you get rid of F911? |
Regardless of the legality, if IA wants to host this, they should @ least get a decent copy. Everyone seems to be saying it's a poor one...

Where else is quality an showstopper issue? |
I'm not aware of any policy for archive.org that makes a judgement based on percieved quality. I would argue that any audio transcoded from a lossy encoder is a poor quality copy and should be at least noted so people have a chance to download the best quality copy. Archive.org doesn't note the lineage of all the audio files so one can do this for themselves. But if the quality issue is the stopper, wait for a DVD rip.
I would say a lack of a proper license (Michael Moore and Lion Gate Film's sentiment should not be enough) should be far more troubling than the quality issue.

Re: Where else is quality an showstopper issue? |
Actually, worth noting - although we don't yet show it on download pages (but are looking at that), we keep a track of which of the files is the original, and therefore highest quality of the ones uploaded:
http://ia200029.eu.archive.org/petabox/items/hda6/movies/night_of_the_living_dead/night_of_the_living_dead_files.xml
If you look in this XML, you'll see that the type is set as 'derivative' for those files that have been derived from the original. This is clearly going to be important in the future, so we do try to keep track of it.
Thanks,
s!
